Antigua: West Indies will host India for a multi-format series, with two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is set to be played between July 12 and August 13.
 
India's tour of the Caribbean will start off with the first Test set to be played between July 12 and 16 in Dominica.
 
The second Test is scheduled to be played between July 20-24 in Trinidad.
 
The series will mark the commencement of the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle for both sides.
 
The tour will conclude with a five-match T20I series, with the first three matches taking place in Trinidad and Guyana.
 
The final two T20Is will be held in the USA, with Lauderhill in Florida being the host.
 
The series will mark the beginning of Andre Coley's era, who was recently appointed as the head coach of West Indies' Test side. Daren Sammy was meanwhile handed the responsibilities of the limited-overs sides.
 
India on the other hand, will look to get over the disappointment of their World Test Championship Final defeat against Australia.
 
The ODI series will also give them an opportunity to further fine-tune ahead of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in their own backyard at the end of the year.
 
Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave is looking forward to welcoming India to the Caribbean and USA over the next two months and is anticipating some quality cricket to be played between the two sides.
 
"We are delighted to be able to confirm the schedule and venues for the highly anticipated visit by India," Grave said.
 
"One of the highlights will be the 100th Test at the Queen’s Park Oval and this promises to be a fantastic occasion as we celebrate this historic event between these two proud cricketing nations.
 
"We also look forward to hosting India in the white ball fixtures and welcoming fans to attend the matches across the region, as well as in the United States. It will be 18 days of entertainment for cricket lovers to enjoy and savour." (UNI)
